Today, Quin will welcome Minister of State for Nature, Heritage and Biodiversity Christopher O’Sullivan for the official launch of the Quin Biodiversity Action Plan 2025–2029 — a major milestone for the village’s growing environmental and community-led initiatives.
The visit will include a walking tour highlighting local biodiversity projects, including the Return to Nature – Clare Church Biodiversity Project at St Mary’s Church and the Arbutus Nature & Sensory Garden Trail, where students from Scoil na Mainistreach will showcase their work protecting pollinators and caring for native hedgerows.
To discuss the importance of the plan and the wider sustainability work taking place in Quin, Alan Morrissey was joined by Liz Condron, Biodiversity Lead with Quin Tidy Towns, and Alison Deane, Sustainability Lead.
